It’s #HurricaneSeason, but it’s not too late to prepare. From high winds to rain to tropical cyclone-induced tornadoes, storms don’t stop at the coast. Steps in @IBHS_org’s #HurricaneReady guide can help protect your home. Start now at https://t.co/DjCceeTyzd.

At @IBHS_org, we turn research into real-world solutions to protect families from severe weather and wildfires. ⛈️🔥
Check out how we’re closing the gaps in building science on @CBSEveningNews “Eye on America” with @CBSNews & @JonVigliotti: https://t.co/f1Hdi10sBd

We can’t stop wildfires, and we’re not powerless.
🔥Embers often ignite homes, but science shows how to reduce the risk with a 5-ft noncombustible buffer around your home.

Your roof is the home’s first line of defense against severe weather. Make sure yours is #ThunderstormReady this spring. @IBHS_org research has identified ways to help you prepare. Follow our tips at https://t.co/rX4m4FC16O to protect your property.

Last week, @IBHS_org researchers analyzed 200+ structures after the #LACountyFires. This work drives our mission to turn science into solutions. Our Early Insights report explores elements that impacted the fire spread at https://t.co/BCHTU9c4So.

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

Embers often lead to destruction during #wildfires. They can travel for miles and ignite combustible materials in our neighborhoods. @IBHS_org research points to the need to create a 5-ft noncombustible buffer around homes to reduce this risk. @AP https://t.co/UYcXk1YBS1

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

Heartbroken by the Los Angeles County fires, I’m hopeful we can minimize future #wildfire destruction.
Embers can drift miles from a wildfire, igniting anything combustible. Creating a 5-foot noncombustible buffer around a home can reduce ember ignitions. https://t.co/LxbmvSs6xq

Now's the time to get ready for winter and prep your home for the cold. @IBHS_org has you covered with a checklist in our #WinterReady guide at https://t.co/vZvbe4ZP7D.

Stay safe out there, people! And take a read about modern building codes... thanks @CBOMagazine

[Construction Business Owner Magazine & Media @CBOMagazine]

With the US braces for Hurricane Helene, it's a good time to review modern building codes. It’s critical to strengthen the built environment to mitigate damage from disasters, & building codes are a key component. Learn more from @IBHS_org's Anne Cope: https://t.co/IL9n3YiOIB

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

Based on more than a decade of #research, @IBHS_org has identified key actions to reduce #wildfire risk. Sharing this with families at @FireSafeMarin’s Ember Stomp Festival helps put our science into action. Ready to join them? Visit https://t.co/4Wsra0092e.

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

Reducing wildfire risk requires resilience at both the parcel and community levels. One year after the devastating fire in Lahaina, @IBHS_Org shares insights on the fire's rapid spread and takeaways for a more resilient future. Find the report at https://t.co/ljO1bUyBNr.

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

We are not powerless against wildfires. #Wildfire research has identified science-backed ways to meaningfully reduce a home’s wildfire risk. Wildfire mitigation STARTS at the parcel level and can be a pathway to more wildfire-resilient communities.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The insurance industry is setting homes on fire — just to make a point.

Property insurers are trying to force changes in construction standards that they say are necessary to protect houses in certain parts of the U.S. against wildfires. https://t.co/UqoLe7rPsg

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

While no home is hurricane-proof, we are not powerless against the impact of tropical cyclones. #Beryl reminds us that the time to take action is now. @WIRED

@fpaaustralia @IBHS_org So enjoyed your visit!

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

Today is the start of the 2024 #HurricaneSeason, and it’s not too late to take on projects around your home to strengthen it against high wind and torrential rain.
Get started today at https://t.co/DjCceeTyzd. #HurricanePrep

[Anne Cope @AnneCopeIBHS]

Prepare your property for #wildfires or #SevereWeather now. Use science-backed checklists & ready guides from @IBHS_org to get started and narrow Mother Nature's impact.

Severe weather risks have increased. Modern building codes help. Today, @IBHS_org released the 5th edition of Rating the States, evaluating code adoption, enforcement, and licensing in 18 states along the hurricane coast. See where your state stands: https://t.co/AeDJDYNm4C
